Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has termed as "shameful" Wednesday's protests by Azimio.
Speaking in Nairobi on Thursday during the launch of a Parliamentary Conservation and Climate Change Caucus, Gachagua regretted the loss of lives and damage to property in the violent demonstrations that rocked various parts of the country.
"I don't want to talk much about what happened... It is a shame and does not deserve my comment," he said.
He instead challenged elected leaders to be focused in their course noting they have a contract with electorates and "they have nowhere to go until the end of that five-year contract".
President William Ruto and I have a contract with the people of Kenya subject to renewal and termination so you also look at your contracts with your people," he said.
Interior CS Kithure Kindiki laid an accusing finger at the planners of the protests for the wanton destruction of property and looting.
In a statement issued on Wednesday evening, Kindiki said all those who took part, directly or indirectly in the well-orchestrated violation of public safety and security will be punished.
"The Government has tonight mobilised all the law enforcement agencies of the State and the institutions of our country’s criminal justice system to conclude investigations urgently and proceed to the arrest and prosecution of all those involved in the planning and execution of the crimes committed today, including those who funded or otherwise aided or abetted the offenders," Kindiki said.
